iPhone 6s~ Who has one- do you like it?

[Omega Man]

With the yesterdays release of the next version of the iPhone, I was wondering if anybody had one yet- and what they thought about it. It seems all the major carriers are pushing the availability as well as Apple, right off the bat, offering "unlocked" versions.....offering assistance in making the content transion.
There seems to be interest in taking the "old" iPhone in trade. As the carriers are really not offering much, I was thinking it may be worth keeping and using the camera feature. Of course any phone, whether actually activated or not, can be used to call 911 emergency services.
If you have made the jump, how did you make out?

I have the iPhone 6+ not sure if it's the "s" I like it. Very compatible with the schuberth Bluetooth collar and the BMW NAV V with the Garmin App.

Here's one review.

I've stayed away from S phones in past because it appeared to me they were "tweeners"
Running a 6 plus right now, just squeaked under the warranty on that camera issue you may have heard about.
The pressure sensitivity on the 6s screen is an interesting feature but I have yet to check one out.

I typically stay a generation behind but have always bought the "s" version as it has added some significant features in the past. This time I really don't see it. I have the iPhone 5s now but really do not see any reason to go higher until it starts to die off.

Got mine yesterday and really like it. Better camera and 3D Touch is a game changing way of using a smartphone.

Don't know if it the same in the US but it seems every time you upgrade your phone here you end up having to "upgrade" your contract which typically is a few more $ for what looks like more but is actually less. I normally buy mine outright unlocked and have been able to stay with the same contract for 4 years. It cost me $35 a month. If I upgraded the phone via my provider i would have to pay over $70 a month plus data overage for the same package. I know the math works out a bit of a wash but I hate increasing monthly charges so until i can get a 6s at an affordable cost I will stay with what i have.

Actually some good points
For most, it seems, due to the high initial cost of the phone there would be a lot less "new" phones without being able to spread the costs out monthly. Between a line charge, data plan, ability to use the phone as a personal hotspot, insurance (usually $100.00 deductible), monthly charges make me wonder sometimes.

That's cheap for a plan with data. We pay $52 plus tax and fees on each phone.

Verizon is offering $200-$300 for used iPhone 5s units. That's not too shabby.

I can't comment on the 6s but I downloaded iOS 9 and it's a slow, buggy POS. I told myself I should wait for subsequent bug fix versions but, noooooo, I had to jump in as soon as it was released. Big mistake.

Interesting, I'm waiting......At least Apple will get on it.
